Probably just look at it for awhile, John, and try to determine how adjustable the X,Y,Z position of the screw clamp pressure-point locations really are.

I've got a bowl form that has been sitting waiting to get milled (for too long) in our shop and have been considering different (much simpler) ways of fixing staves as they are being glued up. I haven't rejected the simpler pin/cleat/tape type solutions one sees in old (and new) bowlback building. This device may have been technological overkill even in its day, but it appeals to my admittedly an-l architect's mind of overwhelming materiality with technology Or at least that is the tacit mantra in our digital fabrication lab. None of this is to be confused with the true pleasures hand working materials..
